What an amazing knock, and to think People still wanted Hayden opening :crazy:

Haydos would have belted 100 off 35 balls if given the chance, im sure :sarcasm: :crazy: :lol:

 

[kamilfav]

wow were crumbling now

 

[DragonPunk]

Hayden would have got a few boundaries then got out to a miss-hit.

 

[hineyrulz]

I wanted Hopes to open with Warner .. mentioned it before squad was picked .. Mind you, Hayden would be better than Marsh.

:lol: Yeah right, Hayden hasn't hit a ball of the square all summer......

 

[Downie]

I wish those dopey commentators would stop calling 6's, maximums.

I was gonna say this. Sounds like an AFL term, as James Brayshaw was saying it every five minutes at the start.

 

[hineyrulz]

Just as well they picked Warner we woud have struggled to hit 120 without him.

 

[roopy]

That ref was game giving that run out - I still can't tell after the slow mo.

 

[_Johnsy]

Says Andrew who ?

The best striker of a cricket ball I have ever seen.

 

[Gene Krupa]

It shows what a joke the 3rd umpire is. They wouldn't call David Hussey safe when he was 4 ft over the crease but they give that one out without consultation. The D Hussey one was more clear cut than that one!

It was out by 2 inches, if you could not tell, you need your eyes checked

Just realised i can replay live TV and frame by frame it with my TiVo - he was out by maybe 2 inches.

.. and Reardon isn't far behind him .. should be in the side as well ..

The same could be said about the David Hussey not out though.

Couldn't agree more. The first time I heard it was from Mark Nicholas, and it's seriously one of the most annoying bits of commentary going around.

Good call - I needed 6 frame by frame back and forths to come to the same conclusion.

Tell me about it.

On the biggest ground in world cricket, he was not only clearing the rope, but a dozen rows back.

And he wasn't playing outlandish shots — just clean, pure, cricket strokes.

 

[El Diablo]

why do they pick Hopes?

dud

 

[Panther_Daz]

Is there any form on International Cricket where NSW doesn't carry the Australian team!

and theres always at least one token dud Queenslander and Victorian

 

[hineyrulz]

That 6 of Steyn over fine leg was the highlight, he was waiting for the bouncer so he just shovelled it down there anyway.
